Question Side Window Alignment

My driver's front side window seems to leak slightly when going through a car wash. I have already replaced the window channel seal but it seems the windows sits just a little too far away from the window channel seal. Is there a way to align/adjust the angle at which the glass is situated in the door? I can not find this information anywhere.

It would seem no one knows how to do what I am asking here. Does anyone have any information on replacing the driver's front window regulator such as instructions? It might prove helpful to more than just me since this post has received 186 views with no replies other than my own.

Shouldn't be hard to replace. Once you open it up you shouldn't need instructions pretty simple.

Once you take the door panel and plastic off, there are **usually** slotted adjustments for the tracks. They don't move far but once you see your options, it may make sense. Usually you find some kind of top/bottom limits but I don't know that part of this car.

Has it ever been wrecked in that area?

**Update**
After adjusting the window regulator to a better position within the door, the window seals much better. It is not obvious to which screws are holding the regulator to the door, so I have attached a screen shot from the repair instructions for replacing the window regulator, which shows all of the screws and tightening sequence.
